Special requirements: If you have any special requests, or dietary requirements while on a trip with us in Uganda, Please inform us as soon as possible in writing, and preferably at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to meet any such request, we regret that we cannot guarantee to do so and there may be an additional charge for doing so.
Failure to meet such special requests will not be a breach of contract on our part. We operate volunteer and travel programmes in region where standards of accommodation, food, transport, safety, hygiene, medical facilities and other infrastructure may, at times, be lower than those you normally expect. You may be required to share a bathroom and/or bedroom and these may differ, or be more cramped than the standard you are accustomed to.
Criminal records: By accepting to volunteer with Msafiri projects you agree to undergo and provide us with an enhanced Criminal Record should it be required to check and ensure your suitability for any Msafiri volunteer programme involving work with children, or vulnerable adults.
We reserve the right to delay, or postpone, your programme until you provide us with a Criminal Records check certificate. Should you fail the Criminal Records check for any reason, you must either amend your trip to one that does not require a Criminal Record Check, if available, or cancel your place on the trip.
Conduct and behaviour: Msafiri Volunteer program aims to ensure that our activities are responsible, have minimal impact on the destinations in which we operate and benefit the local communities, and natural environment. We appreciate your help in achieving this objective.
We expect you to behave responsibly and appropriately and to comply with the laws, customs, foreign exchange, drug and all other regulations of Uganda during your volunteer programme. General behaviour guidelines or codes also apply to many of our volunteer programmes. These guidelines are intended for your benefit and to ensure your safety and enjoyment. They help to maintain a positive dynamic at the volunteer projects and within the group and a good relationship with the local communities.
If the staff of Msafiri or our partner organisations believe your conduct to be disruptive, dangerous, or an annoyance to other local community, volunteers or staff, we reserve the right to terminate your volunteer programme with Suubi Medical centre. We accept no liability for any cost, loss or damage which you may suffer in these circumstances, nor will we refund the cost, nor compensate you for any unused portion of your travel arrangements.
Passport and Visa requirements: Msafiri will be happy to recommend a bonded flight provider to help you with your flight arrangements to Entebbe Uganda. If you choose to accept the flight option that they offer, you will become a direct customer of the flight provider and will enter into a contract with them.
Flights do not form part of your trip package booked with us, and we do not accept any liability in relation to your flight booking. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel your programme, we cannot offer any refund for any flights you may have booked with a flight provider.
The flight provider will inform you of the deposit required for the flights and will notify you of the date that the balance is due. Please refer to the terms and conditions of the flight provider, regarding changes or cancellation. Complaints about your flight should be referred to the airline or flight provider.
Insurance: It is a requirement of our booking conditions that you take out full, comprehensive travel insurance both for protection against misfortune that may occur and for your own peace of mind. This cover must include emergency air evacuation and repatriation. We will require you to provide details of your insurance prior to your departure, including the name of the insurance provider, policy number and the 24-hour emergency contact number.
You will not be accepted on to the trip if this information has not been provided. Please remember that your deposits are non-returnable, so it is wise to take out insurance at the time of booking.
